The master picked him tip and car

sent for Jacks father, who was the
country doctor. After Jack opened his

him. He never wanted to, either, for
most every one loved Jack. He used
to sit with little Phillis, and they learned
! their lessons out Of me. During recess
they would open me at the map of Eu-
rope and mark out the trip they We're
going to take when they grew up and
were married. They were going to
Paris where Jack was going to be
cured. Then they would live in Italy
year or so on the banks of a beautiful
lake, and they would be so happy that
they would not care whether they had
any money or not
"Well,' observed Dickens, when the
Geography paused a moment to breathe,
"did they marIy?"
NO" returned the other, sadly.
1.-The next year Jack died and was
buried in the little church-yard behind
the village church. Phillis' father
preached the sermon at the funeral and
the whole school put flowers on the
grave. For awhile Phillis was incon-
solable, but such fret never lasts very
long, and before her school days were
over she was just rs CHEEKY and much
more beautiful than ever before l was
laid away years before she grew up
laid away very carefully-for Phillis
never forgot the secrets that l shared
with her. But l haven't seen her for
years l don't know really what has
become of her. She brought me to this
house with hcrin the old chest. p?
At this moment the library door
opened and there entered the mistress
Of the house, slight, handsome
woman, with a sweet face and silver
hair.
Il thought I heard noise on the
book Shelves" she said, "but | don't

Perhaps it might have been mouse.
I'll look for it. Why!' she exclaimed,
as she seized the old geography and
drew it out of its place, how did this
dear old book ever come down here? l
thought l had lost it years ago"
Sitting down near the table she
opened the well-worn leaves. When
she came to the old-time map of Eu-
rope criss-crossed by pencil marks her
face softened, and as she bent over
to kiss the soiled and disfigured con-
tinent two tear drops were mingled
with the blue waters of the sea.

Matthew Arnold, as he nodded in the
direction of the old geography, Il

Terrible Suffering.

ST. JOHN, N. B., Dec. O.-The two
masted steamer Sir John burned just out
side Of the harbor last night. The first
news was brought in by passing schooner
which saw her on fire. Searching parties
started out, aud this morning found the
crew of twenty men huddled together in
the NOW on the rocks at Black Point. Their
clothes were frozen to their bodies and they
were suffering terribly. Five were so
seriously burned, including Captain Purdy,
that they could not live. John Sinclair,
the steward, was drowned while swimming
ashore, but the rest got on land by line
carried ashore by the captain. The loss OF
the steamer and cargo 10 estimated al
$4,000.

dinner with her eli l,lrcn. IN the absence
of her husband. swallowed a bono
about the size of a navy bean. She felt
the bone going down the wind-pipe. Tho
Jagged edges of It causing her tho most
excrucialing pain in its downward
course. Half suffocatng and dazed
with agony, she managed TO call for
help.
Kind ne ghbors responded. physi-
clans were seni for. but the ease seemed
hopeless. Opiates to dispel. or at leas,
soothe. the dreadful suffrrings Of tho
lady were admin slercd. Though AZ
years old she rallied, and then began q
systematic course OF treatment. DIR.
Zipperlen took the case in hand. but
pronounced it incurable.
His diagnos was that the bone had
lodged IN the lung, and its removal
was an utter mposs bility, decay OF the
lungs must ultimately set in, and death
was only question of time. Drs.
Eichert, Amck. Wise, and Rcndigs
were successfully called, and their yer.
dict confirmed DR.. Zipparlen, with the
exception of DR.. Rendigs. who took
more hopeful view of the case. During
all this time Mrs. Winter suffered the
severest fortunes.
Hemorrhages succeeded each other
in rapid succession. Her coughing
spells were continuous, and vast ed her
from robust woman to mere skele-
ton. Mr.. Winter, who is u brother OF
of Mr.. Gus winter, of the firm of VOICE

came worse. until tho most sanguine

Last Sunday an event in the nature
of a miracle occurred. AS usual, Mrs.
Winter awoke with a terrible spell OF

bone she had swallowed three years

the fact that the hard substance was a
bone with numerous sharp edges. DR..
Annex was called, and pronounced
the case simply miraculous. and gave the
reassuring opinion that tho effects Of
this irritating tenant of the lady's lung
would soon wear away. The coughing
spell has since almost ceased, and eX-
cept for the debil .tating effect, she is
almost restored 10 health.

What Is II?

The farmer residents south OF Vim
cennes are greatly excited over q
strange wild animal that has frequent
ly been seen in the swampy reg on in
tina. vicinity, and 1t is thought to be a
panther. The Vncennes on,nercidl.
speaking of tho terror the an NAL has
created. says that it roams about the
swamps between the Evansville and
Terre Haute railway and the Evans
vile wagon road. and ut times VEN
lures out in the fields and into tho
highways 1t has been seen frequent
" b, parties of well-known verac ty
and whose judgment does not m slead
them. SO that there renia ms ne doubt
of the fact that the animal has taken
up its abode within two and One-half
m les of the city. 1t makes frequent

a pecul ar. loud AMI terri tying scream.
which 80 closely resembles the scream
of I'M aflrghted woman, or some one
in distress. that it has frequently led
persons to haslen into the midst OF tho
jungle in the swamps thinking that some
awful murder was being comm tied.
On reaching the spot from which the
scream came. it seemed TO be moving
farther into the dense undrrbrush OF
the swamp. Hours nave been spent in
a futile attempt to rescue the supposed
victim of Il terrible crime. Some
times the rescuing party have rushed
unexpectedly upon the ferocious look
ing animal, which would change its
scream 10 deep gulteral growl or a
piercing howl. 1t is needless to say
that in every instance the rcscuers
have beat rs hasty q retreat as the
brer-grown brambles would allow. In
no case has the animal ever attacked
anyone, but ut once boldly assumes
the defensive when approached. 1t
offers savage resistance when modest
cd, but quietly retres to its lair when
the attack has been withdrawn.
Hunters have endeavorcd to induce
their dogs to follow the animals trail.
but only in few instances could they
be induced to give chase. a few times
the dogs have attacked the beast. but
have been knocked back and returned,
